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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jamaica offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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