Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ridgeland, MS.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ridgeland provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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