Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cherry Point, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cherry Point offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
