Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lafollette, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lafollette provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
