Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Blackmore, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Blackmore offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
