Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Stephenson, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stephenson provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
