Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Belle Haven, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belle Haven offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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