How Long is Massachusetts Alcohol Detox?

For most people, alcohol is filtered out of their system in roughly seven to 10 days. But that doesn’t mean a detox program for alcohol dependence and abuse will last this length of time for every patient. A lot of factors contribute to the amount of care needed and the length of time needed to administer it.

How long you will need to remain in a detox program depends upon:

  • The severity of your addiction
  • The length of time you have been using
  • How many times you have gone through withdrawal in the past
  • Whether or not you are also abusing drugs
  • The support system you have at home

To discuss your circumstances and determine the amount of treatment you will need, call 617-744-7489(Who Answers?) to learn more about your options.

How Long is Massachusetts Drug Detox?

Massachusetts detox centers design each program individually, meaning the amount of time you spend in drug detox will be unique to your situation. A major factor will be the type of drugs you are using. For instance, the symptoms associated with stimulant withdrawal generally progress a lot faster than those associated with opioid use, so a heroin user will likely need more time in detox than a cocaine user.

Detox will typically last longer for people who:

  • Need treatment for multiple drugs
  • Have mental illness to be treated as well
  • Have a severe and/or long-term addiction
  • Aren’t complying with treatment
  • Have a severe medical reaction to withdrawal

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Detox Centers in MA

There are two major types of Massachusetts detox centers: inpatient and outpatient.

People with relatively mild addiction may be fine in outpatient care, which merely requires patients to attend treatment sessions at the facility. The rest of their time is spent how they choose. This type of detox lets people continue to raise their families and go to their jobs.

However, people with more severe addictions, as well as those who cannot be relied upon arrive at daily appointments and to follow treatment instructions do better in inpatient detox Massachusetts, which require patients to reside at the treatment center full-time.
