Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bakerton, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bakerton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
