Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dinwiddie, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dinwiddie offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
