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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Longwood offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
