Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Winston Salem, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winston Salem provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
