Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lynchburg, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lynchburg provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
