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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mascot offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
