Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Virginia City, NV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Virginia City offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
