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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Minden offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
