Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Brodnax, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brodnax offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
