Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Memphis, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Memphis provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
