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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Dale offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
