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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Neavitt provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
