Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Benedict, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Benedict offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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