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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hamilton offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
