Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Christiansburg, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Christiansburg offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
