Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rocky Mount, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rocky Mount provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
