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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chelmsford offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help 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 gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
