Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Onset, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Onset offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
