Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Onancock, 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 several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Onancock offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
