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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leon provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
