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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Seekonk provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
