Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Decherd, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Decherd offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo 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 remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
