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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sharps Chapel provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
