Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Meadows Of Dan, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Meadows Of Dan offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
