Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Balsam, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Balsam offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
