Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leon Valley provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation in itself.
