Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pantego, NC.

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

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
