Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Woodleaf, NC.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodleaf offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
