Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Frederick, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Frederick provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
