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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mendenhall provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
