Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Red House, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Red House provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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