Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Vale, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vale offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
