Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Prince George, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prince George offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
