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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Barboursville offers medically supervised 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 relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
