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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hamptonville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
