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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rocky Point offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
