Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Midland, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Midland offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
