Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Decatur, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Decatur provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
