Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Patrick Springs, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Patrick Springs provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
