Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - White Hall, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Hall offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
