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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Smithville offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
