Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boston offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
