Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Falls Church provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
