Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bradley, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bradley provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
