Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lively, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lively provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
