Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - King George, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in King George provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
