Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Waltham, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waltham offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
