Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Magnolia, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Magnolia offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
