Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Woodbine, MD.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodbine offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
