Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Helenwood, TN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Helenwood provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
