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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairmont provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy 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.
