Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - South Boston, MA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Boston provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
