Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Carthage, MS.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carthage provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
