Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Liberty, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Liberty offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
