Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Todd Mission, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Todd Mission provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
