Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bronte, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bronte offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
