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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Poca provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe 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 prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
