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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Beaverdam offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
