Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Essex, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Essex provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
