Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cranberry Isles, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cranberry Isles offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
