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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Roper provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
