Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Reagan, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Reagan provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
