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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bushwood offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
