Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Millwood, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millwood offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
