Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Beech Bluff, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Beech Bluff offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
