Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pottsboro, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pottsboro provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
