Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Spotsylvania, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of 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 Spotsylvania provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
