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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canton offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
