Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lenoir, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lenoir offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
