Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Barton, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Barton provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
