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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dewitt provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
