Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Winifrede, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winifrede provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
