Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Gay, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gay provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
