Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Boomer, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boomer offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
