Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - White Plains, VA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Plains offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
