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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Knickerbocker offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
