Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Houston provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
