Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Scotland Neck, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scotland Neck provides medically managed detox, which is administered 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. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
