Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dennis, MA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dennis provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 someone 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 treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
