Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Paxton, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Paxton provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
