Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Arnold, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arnold provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
