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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pledger offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
