Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bridgton, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgton provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
