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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cheshire provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
