Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Martinsburg provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a history 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
