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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilson provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
