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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Long Green offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
