Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hurlock, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hurlock offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
