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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gladstone provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
