Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hydes, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hydes offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could 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 a history with substance abuse issues 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 given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
