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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Montgomery provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
