Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Belvoir provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive 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 detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
