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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Telephone offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
