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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Guilford provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
