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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Stephens Church provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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