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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newton provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
