Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Madison, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Madison provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
