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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Upperco provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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