Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Hollis Center, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hollis Center offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised 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. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
