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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tougaloo provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
