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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chestnut Hill provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
