Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Temple Hills, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Temple Hills provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 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 treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
