Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Quinby, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Quinby provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
