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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prospect offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
