Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Van Horn, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Van Horn offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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