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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hot Springs provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised 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 detoxification facility stay 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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