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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Redwood provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
