Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Scotland, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scotland offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
