Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - The Colony, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in The Colony provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
