Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cascade, 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 detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cascade provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
