Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Watrous, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Watrous patients are closely watched for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and likely given certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to go to an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
