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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Keswick offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
