Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cushing, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cushing provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
