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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Friendship offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
