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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Perkinston provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing 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 and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
