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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Widen provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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