Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Belgrade, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belgrade offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
