Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kill Devil Hills, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kill Devil Hills provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
