Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Jefferson, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jefferson provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
