Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Biddeford Pool, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Biddeford Pool provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
