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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nottingham offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
