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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in High View offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
