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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mantachie provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
