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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Morrisville provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
