Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Nettleton, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nettleton offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
