Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Caldwell, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Caldwell offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
