Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Friendsville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
