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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lafayette provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
