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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Farmington Falls provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
