Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mertzon, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mertzon offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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