Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Exeter, ME.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Exeter provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
