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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leland provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
