Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Logan, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Logan provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
