Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Centreville, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Centreville provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
