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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fallston offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
