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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oxford offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
