Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - White Oak, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Oak offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
