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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bluemont provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
