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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rowe provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall 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 treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
