Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Philomont, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Philomont offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
