Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Achilles, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Achilles offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
