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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Summit provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
