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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Powell provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
