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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pratt offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific 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 may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
