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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Junior offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help 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 withdrawal symptoms 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 physical and mental health.

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