Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bluefield, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bluefield provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
