Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Green Mountain, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Green Mountain offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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