Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Old River Winfree, TX.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Old River Winfree offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
