Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cripple Creek, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cripple Creek provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
