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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sudbury offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
