Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wharton, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wharton provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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