Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cohasset, MA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cohasset offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
