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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakfield provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
