Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Acton, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Acton provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
