Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Norge, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norge provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
