Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pounding Mill, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pounding Mill provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
