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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fontana Dam offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
