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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edenton provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
