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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Warm Springs provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors 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 detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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