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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakewood Village offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
