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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Narrows offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
