Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ocean Springs, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ocean Springs provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
