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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Laurel Springs provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
