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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richlands provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
