Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Whitman, WV.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitman offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
