Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cowen, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cowen offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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