Professionals Discussing Drug and Alcohol Addiction TreatmentAn addiction to drugs and alcohol can affect anyone, regardless of their background. When the addiction has escalated, it can be dangerous or even deadly to stop using the substances suddenly. 

At Baltimore Detox Center, we want to help you detox from drugs and alcohol in a safe environment. Our drug and alcohol detox center is one reason why our addiction treatment programs are among the best in Maryland.

  • Changes in appetite and mood
  • Fatigue and insomnia
  • Irritability and outbursts of anger
  • Sweating and shaking
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Tremors

What Is a Drug and Alcohol Detox Center Like?

Inpatient care initially begins with medical detoxification or can extend through residential detox. Either way, when you first arrive at Baltimore Detox Center, you will be registered, your medical history will be reviewed, and you will be given a thorough medical examination. A staff member will speak with you about your immediate substance abuse issues, underlying issues or ailments, and address any concerns you may have. If you are diagnosed with other conditions, treatment options will be discussed at this time.
