Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - North Baltimore, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Baltimore provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
