Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ewing, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ewing provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
