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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Diamondhead offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
