Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Windsor Mill, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Windsor Mill offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
