Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Raleigh, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Raleigh provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
