Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Culberson, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Culberson provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
