Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mc Cool, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mc Cool offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
