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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Todd provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
