Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hulls Cove, ME.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hulls Cove offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
