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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parkton provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
