Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Norman, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norman offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
