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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boyd provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
