Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Charlestown, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Charlestown offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during 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 prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
