Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Addison, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Addison provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
