Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Blackwater, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blackwater provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox 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. Individuals 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 substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
