Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Deerfield, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Deerfield offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
