Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Spring Lake, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spring Lake offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
