Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Grand Prairie, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grand Prairie offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification 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 remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
