Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Willis, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Willis provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
