Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Clifton Forge, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clifton Forge offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through 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) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
