Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mount Pleasant, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Pleasant offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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