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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tunnelton offers medically supervised 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 even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
