Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hebron, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hebron offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
