Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Icard, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Icard provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
