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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pittsburg offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with 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 miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
