Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cleveland, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cleveland offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease 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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
