Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mansfield, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mansfield offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
