Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Surgoinsville, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Surgoinsville provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
