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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Augusta offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
