Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - South Hamilton, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Hamilton offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
