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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ruby offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
