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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Humboldt offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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