Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Brooksville, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooksville offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
