Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Robert Lee offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
