Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Pinetops, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pinetops offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
