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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Morton offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
