Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Billerica, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Billerica offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
