Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Forest, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Forest provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
