Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Heidelberg, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Heidelberg provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
