Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ridgeview, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ridgeview provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
