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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dunbar provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in 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. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
