Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Amelia Court House, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Amelia Court House provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
