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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huttonsville offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
