Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alfred, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alfred offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
