Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Midland, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Midland provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
