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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Smithdale offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
