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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Troutville provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
