Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Heaters, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Heaters offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
