Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lothian, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lothian provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
