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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kegley provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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