Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ridgely, TN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ridgely offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
