Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kennedyville, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kennedyville offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
