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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sealevel provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used 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 withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
