Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hampden, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hampden offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
