Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Richwood, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richwood offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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