Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Darlington, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Darlington provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
