Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gilboa, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gilboa provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
