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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dryden provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
