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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thurmont offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
