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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edgewood offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
