Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dawn, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dawn offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
