Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - South Carver, MA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Carver offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
