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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glenwood offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
