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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Assonet offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
