Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bethesda, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bethesda provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
