Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Compton, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Compton provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease 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 symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
