Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Davis Wharf, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Davis Wharf offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
