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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pleasant Valley provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
