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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dover provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone 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. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
