Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rock Point, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rock Point provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
