Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Blount, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blount offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
