Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Harris, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harris offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
