Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fieldale, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fieldale provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
