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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hampden Sydney provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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