Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Millis, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millis provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
