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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Copen provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
