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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waco provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using 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 during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
