Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Catlett, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Catlett provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
