Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Patterson, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Patterson offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
