Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Blaine, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blaine offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
