Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wheaton, MD.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheaton provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
