Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Marshall, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marshall provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
