Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edcouch provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 health.
For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
