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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wartburg offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
