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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Windsor offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
