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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woolford offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
