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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gleason offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
