Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - White Deer, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Deer provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
