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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Guy provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
