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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leasburg provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
