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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belle Meade provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
