Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Braxton, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Braxton offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
