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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Middleboro provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
