Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sharpsburg, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sharpsburg offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
