Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Rustburg, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rustburg provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
