Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Springfield, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Springfield offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
