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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hempstead offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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