Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Olney, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olney offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
