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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cordova provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used 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 gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
