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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Beckley provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
