Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Englewood, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Englewood offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
