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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Memphis provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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