Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Greenbush, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greenbush offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
