Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - New Salem, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Salem offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
