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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lester provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally 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 because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
