Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mcallen, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mcallen provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (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 subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
