Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Crawford, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crawford provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
