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

Detoxification is the first stage 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 Joelton provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
