Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Charleston, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Charleston provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
