Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mathis, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mathis offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
