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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vansant provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
