Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Partlow, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Partlow offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help 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 diminished. This could 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
