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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ringgold offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
