Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mount Zion, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Zion provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
