Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Allen Junction, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Allen Junction offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
