Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Draper, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Draper provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
