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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Creston provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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