Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Spring Hill, TN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spring Hill offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
