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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Beach provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
