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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Simpsonville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
