Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mc Adams, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mc Adams offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
