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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hunt Valley provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
