Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lake Dallas, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Dallas offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
