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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parkersburg provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
