Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Falfurrias, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Falfurrias provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
