Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Elgin, TN.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elgin provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
