Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Benoit, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Benoit provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
