Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Orlean, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orlean provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
