Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Leonard, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leonard offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
