Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kilmarnock, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kilmarnock offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
