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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Haywood provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
