Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hinton, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hinton provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
