Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Estcourt Station, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Estcourt Station offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
