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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nicholson offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
