Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Olin, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olin provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
