Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Victoria, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Victoria offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
