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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Holly Bluff offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
