Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Woburn, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woburn provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
