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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Knott offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
