Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Scotts, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scotts offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
