Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sherard, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sherard provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
