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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clifton provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
