Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Canaan, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Canaan offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
