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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sparks Glencoe offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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