Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fruitvale, TN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fruitvale offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
