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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Halifax provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
