Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fentress, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fentress offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
