Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sumerco, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sumerco provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
