Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chase, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chase offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
