Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lowland, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowland offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
