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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Red Creek provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
