Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Stennis Space Center, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stennis Space Center provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
