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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashland offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
