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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen White offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
