Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Parsons, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parsons offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized 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 gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
