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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Little Plymouth provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
