Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elbert, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elbert provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
