Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Tarboro, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tarboro provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
