Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Woods Cross Roads, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woods Cross Roads provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
