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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oyster provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
