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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fries provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate 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 commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
