Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sherrills Ford, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sherrills Ford provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
