Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Locust, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Locust offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
