Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lansing, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lansing offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth 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 treatment in itself.
