Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Landover, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Landover provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
