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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Somerville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
