Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lake Waccamaw, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Waccamaw offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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