Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Irving, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Irving offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
