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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lynn provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
