Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Newcomb, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newcomb offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
