Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hansford, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hansford offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
