Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Haymarket, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Haymarket provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
