Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Spencer, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spencer provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
