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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chantilly offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
