Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mcmechen, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mcmechen offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
