Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Nashville, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nashville offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (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 gone away. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
