Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Leesburg, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leesburg provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
