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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shacklefords provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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