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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elkridge provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
