Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Whitsett, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitsett provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
