Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Granite Quarry, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Granite Quarry provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
