Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Princewick, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Princewick offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
