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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lanexa provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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