Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mount Solon, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Solon offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
