Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sarah, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sarah provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
