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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pleasant Hill provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
