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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belington offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
