Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cross Junction, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cross Junction offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
