Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fort Lee, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Lee provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
