Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brooklyn Park, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooklyn Park provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
