Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Elk Park, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elk Park offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 detox facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
