Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ashley Falls, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashley Falls offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
