Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hurt, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hurt provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
