Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Montross, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Montross offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
