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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blairs offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
