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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Swiftown provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
