Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Glen Alpine, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Alpine offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
