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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bethel offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
