Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Horner, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Horner provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
