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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Holly provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
