Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - North East, MD.

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

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
