Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Swoope, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Swoope offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
