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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sealston offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
