Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alexander, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alexander provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
