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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hillsville provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
