Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Duffield, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Duffield provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
