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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bowdoin provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with 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 typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
