Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Hamlin, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Hamlin provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
