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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Del Valle provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
