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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Etowah provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
