Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jamaica Plain provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe 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 uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
