Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Morgantown provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
