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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tyngsboro offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
