Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Schley, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schley offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
