Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Roanoke Rapids, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Roanoke Rapids provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
