Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Williamsburg offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
