Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Oak Vale, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oak Vale offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
