Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oriental, 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 Oriental provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
