Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Glen Arm, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Arm offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
