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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brewer offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
