Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Clear Spring, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clear Spring provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
