Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Concord, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Concord offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
