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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elon offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
