Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Schuyler, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schuyler offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
