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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Letart provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
