Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Hume, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hume provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
