Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - North Falmouth, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Falmouth offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
