Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Linwood, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Linwood offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
