Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pratts, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pratts provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
