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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stevenson offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox 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 detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
