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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stanleytown offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth 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.
