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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cliff Island provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
