Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Queen City, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Queen City offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
