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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilder offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
