Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Galloway, WV.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Galloway provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
