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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harlingen provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
