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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Frankford offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
