Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Knotts Island, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Knotts Island offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
