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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Palo Pinto offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
