Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Stonewall, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stonewall offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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