Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waterville offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 detoxing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
