Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Aurora, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Aurora offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
