Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Essex, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Essex provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 an individual 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 recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
