Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - The Plains, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in The Plains offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
