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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glenarden offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
