Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Graysville, TN.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Graysville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
