Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Ovilla, TX.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ovilla offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
