Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fort Fairfield, ME.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Fairfield provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
