Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alamo, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alamo offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
