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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westminster offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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