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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alma offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
