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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oak Hill offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
