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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sterling City offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
