Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Richland Springs, TX.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richland Springs offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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