Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Brinklow, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brinklow provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
