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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Williamsport provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
