Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Swords Creek, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Swords Creek offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
