Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hiawatha, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hiawatha offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
