Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Walthall, MS.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walthall provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
