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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dudley offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
