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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marionville provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease 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 could be anywhere from 5 days 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
