Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Huntland, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntland offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
