Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oak Bluffs, MA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oak Bluffs offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
