Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alligator, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alligator provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
