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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Broadway offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
