Discover Recovery from Pflugerville, TX

Site of the hit NBC television drama, Friday Night Lights, Pflugerville, TX was originally settled by German immigrant Henry Pfluger, Sr. The city went through a significant depression in the years following the Great Depression only to resurge in conjunction with the growth of Austin. Cities go through ebbs and flows. That’s just the nature of cities.

Humans similarly go through natural ebbs and flows. However, in drug addiction those ebbs and flows are exacerbated in extreme ways. People are pulled from seemingly great heights to devastating lows.

Trying to maintain normalcy within addiction is impossible. Fortunately, for people needing to escape from what was originally an escape, there is hope.

Developing an addiction doesn’t always need to end in death or prison. People all over the world and country have received treatment and live in recovery. Treatment helps people gain skills to deal with the cravings and temptations that come with living in the real world.

Do I Need Inpatient Detox?

A lot of people fear detox because of withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are the—often uncomfortable—effects of the body coming off a drug. When someone develops a drug addiction, their body gets used to the drug to the point of dependence. Stripping that dependence away can shut the body down and send the body into a shock.

For benzodiazepines and alcohol, this shock can cause death in extreme cases. Because of this, it’s important that people should not try and detox alone. Detox has the potential to kill and trying to do it alone can prove a fatal mistake.

When you check into a detoxification facility, you will receive medical attention to help subside the withdrawal effects. Sometimes, people receive alternatives to their drug of choice—such as methadone—to help them deal with the symptoms and to ween them off the drugs.

If you are considering detox for addiction treatment, look into inpatient. It can save your life. When debating about what treatment center to choose, it’s important to keep in mind that traveling for treatment gives you more options.
