Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Locustville, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Locustville offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
