Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mc Kenney, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mc Kenney offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
