Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Harwood, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harwood offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
