Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dickson offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
