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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waverly offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised 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. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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