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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gibson provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 withdrawing 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
