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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Reva offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
