Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Atwood, TN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Atwood offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
