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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Craigsville offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
