Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Puckett, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Puckett provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
