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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chamberlain offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
