Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Pauls, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Pauls provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
