Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Richfield, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richfield provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
