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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dellslow provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
