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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Friendly offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
