Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Linden, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Linden provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
