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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greenville provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 diminished. This could 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
