Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lincoln, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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 a person who has been struggling 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 handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
