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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newport offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
