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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jefferson offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
