Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Henrico, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Henrico offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
