Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Harrisonburg, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harrisonburg provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
