Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Nathalie, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nathalie offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
