Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Charles, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Charles provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
