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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Conowingo provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
