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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prince Frederick offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
