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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Panther offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
