Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Macclesfield, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Macclesfield offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
