Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Leonardtown, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leonardtown offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
