Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Thompsons, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thompsons provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
