Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Calais, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Calais offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
