Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - High Shoals, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in High Shoals provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
