Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Henry, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Henry offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
