Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bowdoinham, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bowdoinham provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
