Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Front Royal, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Front Royal provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
