Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Southmont, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Southmont provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
