Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Arvonia, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arvonia offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
