Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dobson, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dobson offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
