Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kitty Hawk, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kitty Hawk provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
