Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Norwood, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norwood offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
