Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Winchendon, MA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winchendon provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
