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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hollywood offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
