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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Viewtown offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
