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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Charlottesville provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
