Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rixeyville, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rixeyville offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
