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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Ulm offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
