Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Saluda, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Saluda offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
