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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Unicoi offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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