Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Galena, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Galena provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
