Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mission, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mission offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
