Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mount Rainier, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Rainier provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
