Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gandeeville, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gandeeville offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could 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 been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
