Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Herndon, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Herndon offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
