Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mount Pleasant, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Pleasant offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
