Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Alamance, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alamance provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
