Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Parksley, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parksley offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
