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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in El Campo offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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