Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Helen, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Helen provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
