Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pattison, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pattison offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
