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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Susan provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
