Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ledbetter, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ledbetter offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
