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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carthage offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
