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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lancaster provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
