Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Vanceboro, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vanceboro offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
