Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Burnham, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burnham offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve 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 during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
