Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Copper Hill, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Copper Hill offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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