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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carson provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
