Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Highlands, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highlands provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
