Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Florence, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Florence offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
