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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wellman offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
