Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pageton, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pageton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
